Oh yeah, and....

...I got my tragus pierced. This is what happens when you're not in a great mood, and you get talked into going with friends who are getting their noses pierced. I'm not really a nose-piercing kind of girl, but in a spurt of bravery and spontaneity, I gained a hole as well.*



If you ever have it done, just be warned: You can hear the needle crunching through skin and cartilage. Other than that, it's not too bad.



The tattooed arm belongs to our big, burly piercer who was more than happy to have six girls come traipsing into his shop late on a Thursday evening. He was great, and if I ever decide to do anything crazy like have eyeliner tattooed on, he's totally my man.





*Despite the lack of wisdom and the delayed-onset regret that can often accompany this frame of mind, I'm actually really happy with the decision. I like my new sparkle.

  1. When I got both sides of mine done I wanted to tear up. I'm a big piercing person and I think those are the most painful out of the 10 I had. . . well 11 now.

  2. You know, the pain wasn't really all that bad for me. The pinchers to hold the tragus hurt more than the needle. Hearing my cartilage crackle and pop was supremely weird, though.
